Allan: DM: Long and Short Wavelength Optical Sources for Attosecon d Science

Attosecond science has the potential to observe and even control electron dynamics in real time, and has until now relied on high harmonic generation driven by mode-locked titanium:sapphire lasers. In this talk I will discuss recent work on developing new sources for attosecond science at longer (1800 nm) and shorter (3 nm) wavelengths.

JC/DM: Sebastian: Enhancing the limits of high harmonic generation

I will give a general overview about the three experiments running at the Red Dragon Lab, which are trying to enhance the limits of HHG. These experiments are: HGG towards the water window by using NIR driving fields combined with high pressure gas targets, the effective generation of VUV using a length tunable gas cell and in a later stage multi-color light fields and the HHG in a liquid jet.

Ghazal Jabbari: ICD after resonant excitation

Ghazal Jabbari is a visitor from Heidelberg University who will talk about ICD, and specifically, ICD after resonant excitation, and where ICD can be important, or even compete with other processes, such as photodissociation (the system: water-chloride cluster). At the end she will talk a bit about Multiple excitations, and ICD process after them (mostly in rare gas dimers).
